Here’s what’s covered on this page:

Introduction

Moodle is CCAD’s learning management system, where you can post assignments, take attendance and grades, and provide resources for your students for both in-person and online classes. Use these pages to discover a variety of useful tools and functions so your students can get the most out of Moodle.

You can access Moodle by logging into the Faculty and Staff portal or by going directly to moodle.ccad.edu. Moodle uses CCAD’s Single Sign-On, which means you’ll log in using your CCAD email and the same passphrase you use to log into other systems such as Teams, Self Service, campus WiFi, and campus computers.

All degree-seeking classes are automatically created in Moodle, so you don't have to worry about creating your class or enrolling students. If you are missing classes or students, please email the Registrar at Registrar@ccad.edu.

If you are teaching a non-degree seeking class, classes will not be managed in Moodle. You will take attendance and record grades in Self Service.

Getting Started

Go to moodle.ccad.edu and log in using your CCAD email address and passphrase.
